Exhibit Opening at TAG

Artist’s Statement:

Born Ann Beverly Hundley, I was raised on a farm in Essex County. I graduated from St. Margaret’s School and attended college in North Carolina and VCU in Richmond where I was accepted into Painting and Printmaking, but finished with a master’s degree in education. After teaching for twenty-two years in Hanover and Essex counties I retired in Tappahannock. I began painting with a group that eventually became Tappahannock Artists Guild. Our instructor was Jack Griffin, an accomplished watercolorist. I have continued with watercolor for over thirty years. I paint landscapes, rivers, creeks, and gardens. My childhood farm and its bordering Dragon Swamp are among my favorite subjects. A show of my works opens January 31st with paintings of these subjects which I love. I am a realistic painter but take the liberty to alter a subject to emphasize the qualities that are important to me – color, atmosphere, light and shadow.

The show will be open during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4pm through February 22, 2025.

The artist will lead a demonstration of watercolor landscape painting on Thursday, February 6 from 10am to noon. The cost will be $20 per person. Register on TAG’s website tapparts.org.

Also at TAG, work by Exhibiting Artist Linda Shields will be hung on our feature wall in February. You can always see work by our Guild Artist Members in the main gallery, which changes regularly. There’s always something new to see at TAG!

The opening is part of Date Night in Tappahannock, a monthly celebration of the local businesses in historic downtown Tappahannock. Businesses interested in participating should contact Paige Conner Totaro, Executive Director of TAG, at [email protected].
